| abstract |
A novel metal complex, a method for producing the same, and a method for using the same are provided. The present invention provides novel metal complexes, methods of making them, and methods of using them. The present invention provides, inter alia, a metallosalenate complex comprising a cationic bicyclic amidinium group, the cationic bicyclic amidinium group having no free amine. In some embodiments, such metallosalenate complexes are of Formula I, wherein each R 1a , R 1a ′ , R d , R 4b , k, M, and X are as defined herein. As described. [Selection figure] None |
